TSLA Technical Analysis

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
So to summarize several technical analysis types and add some of my own commentary...It looks like we are currently backtesting the big downtrend that we broke out of today. Backtesting breakouts is very common and no cause for alarm. MMs needed to get the stock under control before losing too much money to retail traders buying calls so that could have been a factor as well. Good thing is we are still above the daily cloud, which will provide support. OS mentioned 50/50 chance of retest of $334 before breaking out again. Idk why but I don't see why not either. The cloud slopes down so even if we retest $334 the daily cloud will still be support it looks like so that's pretty nice. Oh and my 401K rollover money still hasn't shown up so a move back to $334 would be nice if it shows up tomorrow.

Key watching out here is the weekly chart is still set up very well and is indicating a rise next week. I mentioned yesterday that MACD on the weekly was looking good. The crossover should happen next week. Notice how since the June top MACD has had a negative slope on both the black and red lines until the black line has recently flattened. Guess when the last time we reached a point like this? That's right, December of 2016. We all know what happened from Dec 2016 until June 2017. Hopefully we actually get the crossover but as all things with TA, nothing is guaranteed.

Here's a chart from Option Sniper a few days ago. With the manipulation that appears to be going on, I don't know how true this is, but the upper line of the downtrend channel is right around $336. We broke through it a couple of days ago, so in theory it would become support once above it. However, when we came back down below the line, it would turn into resistance again. That may be part of what is happening. However, the last couple of days of trading appear to be dominated by substantial manipulative trading rather than straight-forward market forces. In that environment, I'm not sure that this resistance line is very important. We sure went through it easily a few days ago. I think the antidote to manipulative trading is primarily volume.

Option Sniper said yesterday there was a 50% chance of dip to $334 before climbing next week. It did dip to just below $334 today and then came back up a couple of bucks. Let's see if he's right about next week.

The dude is a damn wizard. I cant tell you how much money I have lost not listening.. haha. Im like.. nah, its going to go up.. and damned if OS doesn't nail it. Some of his estimates are uncanny in how accurate. Not 100% right, but I would guess 85%, which is off the charts for this kind of stuff. I think he said he made, as in cashed out to his bank account, $470k this year already. So I will follow him as long as he keeps tweeting. Seems like a good guy as well. Very responsive to followers and never a jerk, unless you question weather you should cash out to your bank account, then he gets perturbed and starts typing in all caps to cash out or you didnt make anything. Sounds like a guy who has lost it all a few times. I am happy to listen and learn.

Edit: haha.. retweeted just now.. dude is serious:

FOLKS, I USE ALL CAPS FOR THIS TWIT SO YOU WILL PAY ATTENTION. AFTER THIS WHOLE CRAZY RUNS & POSSIBLY NEXT WEEK, YOU REALLY NEED TO CASH OUT ALL GAINS TO BANK ACCT OR YOU WILL BE SCREWED. IF U NEVER LISTEN, U WILL SUFFER ONE DAY - PROFITS ALL GONE QUICK. THIS IS SURVIVAL RULE.

The Tesla intraday chart this afternoon appears to have drawn a bullish Inverse Head & Shoulders pattern accompanied by heavy trading volume. It looks like a washout of weak longs (largely day traders) and covering by some of the smarter shorts. The fact that TSLA today is outperforming the averages and other momentum stocks also should bode well.
 
Why does he say that it's almost impossible for it to not hit $341 in February, no matter how high it goes before?
That’s the part I don’t get either. If someone here understands, please enlighten me. The only thing I can think of is that TSLA tends to run up before the delivery report and earnings and then quickly goes down before the announcements. But I doubt that’s what he means since he’s totally coming from a TA perspective.

Every trend gets tested, so for a new uptrend, it makes sense that there is a pullback to 5/10 MA, before braking down or continuation. At that point I trust news will bias us one way or another. If M3 production is doing well in Feb., we're due for trend continuation upward, if not...
